Gene Auprey is Senior Editorial Adviser for SOUNDZINE. His poems have appeared in THE FLEA, HAWK & WHIPPOORWILL, LUCID RHYTHMS, OTHER POETRY, PISGAH REVIEW, and THE SHIT CREEK REVIEW, as well as many other places, both pixel and print. Gene currently lives in Buxton, Maine. Widely traveled and a dedicated outdoors man, he enjoys the company of his grandchildren.

While his poetry has many influences, perhaps the strongest has been New England's poet laureate, Robert Frost.
